Possible to include support for AES encryption?

[davidblewett]

libmemcached supports AES encryption via:

http://docs.libmemcached.org/libmemcached-1.0/memcached_set_encoding_key.html

It would be nice if you could set maybe an aes_key behavior that activates this?

Should be real simple to implement, I don't really have that particular itch to scratch but if you want to take a dive into C Python extensions, feel free!

Unfortunately, my C skills are way too low for something like that. I've done a bit using cffi, but I don't really have the cycles to tackle a full-on C Python extension. I'll leave this here as a note in case someone else could step up.

For that future person, the cryptography package provides utilities for converting a password to a full crypto key:
